Advantages: Nourishes your hands whilst being light and refreshing

Disadvantages: None in my opinion

Crabtree and Evelyn are well known for producing good quaility products and their hand therapy range lives up to this great standard.

I have tried all of the different fragrances available and the Citron, Honey and Coriander is one of my favourites.

The cream currently retails at £14 for 100g on the Crabtree and Evelyn website, though they often have up to 40-50% sales so you can pick up a few at a time, which I do.

The Citron, Honey and Coriander hand therapy comes in a fairly soft metal tube with a white screw lid that is easy to use and stays in place, if being carried around in your handbag. The tube is a sage green colour, with a picture of lemon on, which makes the product look refreshing. The tube also comes packaged in a cardboard box, which is nicely presented.

The product contains shea butter, which gives the product a lovely creamy and luxurious feel, and in addition it contains Ceramide 3 and 6 II, which are supposed to improve the skin's barrier function and and help reduce the loss of moisture throughout the day. The cream also contains extract of myrrh to help condition your nails and Hyaluaronic Acid to keep moisture close to the skin. Overall the hand therapy aims to hydrate your skin and condition your nails and cutilces. The product is paraben, lauryl sulfate, mineral oil and propylene glycol free.

The cream is easy to dispense from the tube and a little goes a long way, so although it is a little pricey, it last me for at least 4 months with several applications per day. It sinks into my skin, which is fairly dry, very well and my hands feel instantly nourished and protected, I also have sensitive skin and I have never had any issues of irritation from the cream, in fact if my hands are feeling a bit sore from too much washing up, it helps to sooth them. My nails have also benefitted from using the product as they have a tendancy to be dry and the hand therapy helps to nourish them and improve the condition of my cuticles.

The overall scent of the product is citron, this gives a fresh feeling and also a lightness, this is shortly followed by a more herby coriander scent and the soft sweetness of honey, which overall makes the cream a pleasure to use. I would recommend this hand cream to others as it really works wonders on dry skin.

Summary: Excellent product that performs well
